Government forces bring military reinforcements to south Syria’s Daraa
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – Syrian government forces brought in, on Friday, military reinforcements including heavy vehicles and artilleries to the city of Daraa, southern Syria.
A local source told North Press that the government forces brought in military vehicles, including BMP-3 vehicles, AZP S-60 anti-aircraft guns, and several cars with dozens of soldiers on board entered the city of Daraa.
The source added that the reinforcements headed to the Municipal Stadium in the Panorama neighborhood.
Another source from the area said that the reinforcements came as a preparation to launch a military action on some towns west of Daraa.
Days ago, Mufid Hassan, head of the Security Committee of the government forces threatened to launch an attack against some towns of the governorate in case the government’s demands are not answered which to hand over the wanted and to inspect the houses, according to the source.
Since the government forces re-captured Daraa in 2018, the governorate has been living in a state of insecurity, with one or two daily assassinations targeting soldiers and officers of the government forces, not to mention the spread of thefts.
In 2021, Daraa Governorate went through an 80-day-seige. After that, a number of Daraa’s notables and government forces, with mediation of Russian officers, reached a ceasefire agreement on September 5, 2021, including handing over weapons and deploying governmental security posts in the towns of the governorate.
